This book is intended to provide practicing school library media specialists and students in professional degree-granting programs with both a conceptual framework and practical approaches to the curriculum-related responsibilities of the school library media program. The responsibilities discussed include both library and information skills instruction and curriculum support services. A new definition of curriculum support services is provided, which encompasses five interrelated areas: (1) curriculum resources provision; (2) reading and guidance; (3) information services; (4) curriculum consultation; and (5) curriculum development. A "big six" skills curriculum for library and information skills is detailed, based on the information problem-solving process of task definition, information-seeking strategies, location and access, information use, synthesis, and evaluation. It is argued that these two major curriculum-related functions--curriculum support services and library and information skills instruction--must be systematically supported, and a six-stage strategy for library media curriculum program development and management is provided. The use of curriculum mapping to collect, store, retrieve, and present information is detailed, and a structure for designing integrated unit and lesson plans is provided. The text is supplemented by 45 figures, and Appendix A lists the types of sources/systems to be considered under location skills; Appendix B outlines the steps for conducting a time management survey.
